Research Notes:
Stillwill states, [46]
The Motts had been seated in the adjoining counties of Essex and Cambridge, England for several centuries, when two of the name of Adam Mott, one from each county, emigrated to America. Adam mott, from Cambridge, called the taylor, came with his family, to Boston, in 1635, and Adam Mott, from Essex, left some years later and settled in New Amsterdam.
It is singular that these two Adam Motts, each with sons, Gershom and Adam, should have lived contemporaneously in the early history of this country, and it would have been confusing had they ... resided in the same locality, but, fortunately, they dwelt apart; one in Rhode Island, ... while the other, in whom we are intersted, resided, first, in New Amsterdam, and later, on Long Island.
From certain affidavits and statements, made at various dates, of little interest in themselves, and from appearing as a witness, it would seem that Adam Mott was a resident of Manhattan in 1643, 1644, 1645, 1646, 1647, and 1648.
The ship record of the Cambridge Adam Mott lists his family,
The Defence, Thomas Bostock master, commenced taking passengers at London, bound for New England, about 2d July 1635, and continued on the 4th, 6th, 10th, 11th, and 18th. Among them were Adam Mott, a taylor aged 39, with certificates from Cambridge; Sarah his wife aged 31, and their children, Jo. aged 14, Adam aged 12, Jonathan aged 9, Elizabeth aged 6 and Mary aged 4. [47] [48]
Defence of London, Edward Bostock, Master. She sailed from London about the last of July and arrived at Boston October 8, with about one hundred passengers. ...
Adam Mott, 39, of Cambridge, county Cambridge, tailor, settled in Hingham
Mrs. Sarah Mott, 31
John Mott, 14
Adam Mott, 12
Jonathan Mott, 9
Elizabeth Mott, 6
Mary Mott, 4 [49]
Thompson conflates the imigrants from Cambridge and Essex in his statement, [50]
Among the freeholders of Hempstead in 1656 was Adam Mott, the ancestor of many families upon Long Island and in other places. He was born in England 1606, and sailed for Boston 1636, with his wife Sarah and children John, Adam, Joseph, Elizabeth, Nathaniel, and Mary. He was admitted freeman at Hingham, Mass., 1637, and came to New Amsterdam some years after. He is next found at Newtown, from whence he came to this town in 1656, and died in 1686, aged eighty. His second wife was Jane, by whom he had James and Cornelius. His son Adam, born 1629, married Phebe, and had Adam, James, Charles, John, Joseph, Gershom, Elizabeth, Henry, and Grace :—by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter of John Richbill, he had Richbill, Mary, Ann, and William, and died, aged fifty-two, in 1681. Richbill married Elizabeth Thomas, October 14, 1696. William, born January 20, 1674, married Hannah, daughter of John Seaman, and died June 31, 1740. She died June 24, 1759; issue Elizabeth, William, Hannah, and Martha. Of these William, born August 6, 1709, married Elizabeth Valentine, had ten sons and two daughters, of whom none left issue but William, Henry, Samuel, Joseph, and Benjamin. He died March 25, 1786, and his wife November 17, 1780...
1638 An "Adam Mott, 19, servant, tailor," was listed as a passenger for New England on the ship Bevis of Southampton. He was one of ten servants listed with Stephen Drummer of Bishopstoke, county Hants, husbandman, who settled in Newbury. The "Bevis of Southampton, one hundred and fifty tons, Robert Batten, Master. Probably sailed in May, 'by vertue of the Lord Treasurers warrant of the second of May, wch was after the restraynt and they some days gone to sea Before the Kings Mates Proclamation Came into Southampton.'" [51]
G. Andrews Moriarty states, [52]
The printed Portsmouth Town Records (p. 72) show that Adam Mott was a son of "ould John Mott" when the town provided for the latter's support, 3 July 1656. The first two items given by Austin in col. 2 under John son of Adam Mott actually refer to Adam's father John, who probably died not long after the 1656 entry.
In the shipping list, Adam is stated to have come from Cambridge. He evidently belonged in the nearby Essex parish of Saffron Waldon, where the surname occurs as far back as 1570 in the parish register. The following entries pertain to Adam of Portsmouth: Married 28 Oct. 1616, Adam Mott and Elizabeth Creel; Buried 18 June 1617, a man child of Adam Mott; and Baptized 6 Sept. 1618, John son of Adam Mott. At the neighboring parish of Horseheath, co. Cambridge, Adam Mott and Sarah Lott were married 11 May 1635.
The following entries from Saffron Waldon may pertain to Adam's father John: Buried 2 January 1610/11, Elizabeth wife of John Mott; Buried 4 May 1619, Catherine wife of John Mott; Buried 2 Jan. 1616/17, Ann daughter of John Mott; and Baptized 29 Sept. 1625, Elizabeth daughter of John and Mary Mott.
Another Adam Mott came to Newbury, Mass., and later migrated to Long Island. In the shipping list in 1638 he was 19 years old, and in his will in 1681 he called himself aged about 60. At his marriage to his first wife, Jane Hallet, in 1647, the Dutch Church records of New Amsterdam enter him as from Essex County. This Adam Mott had children by his first wife named James, Henry, John, Joseph, and Gershom. The Saffron Waldon Parish Registers contain the following baptism of children of James and Grace Mott:
Adam, 21 Jan. 1620/1;
Henry, 31 May 1623;
George, 20 Nov. 1625.
It will be noted that the Adam baptized 1620/1 was of the proper age to be the Long Island settler, and that the names James, Grace, and Henry correspond. James Mott, father of the above Adam, may possibly have been the son a Mr. George Mott who was buried at Saffron Waldon 7 Feb. 1614/15.
Kate Mott discusses Adam Mott in an article about his son Gershom.[53]
Edward Doubleday Harris discusses Adam's eldest son Adam. [54].
